โฆ Synopsis
We describe the preparation of phosphatidyl p-nitrophenol (PpNP) and its use as a substrate in an assay for the quantitative evaluation of Phospholipase D. The solution of the substrate in Tris HCl buffer, pH 8, and Triton X is mixed directly with an aliquot of fermentation broth and the absorbance of the solution read at 405 nm. The method is rapid, sensitive and inexpensive.

We developed a specific spectrophotometric assay for the quantitative determination of phospholipase D-catalyzed transphosphatidylation activity. The assay measures p-nitrophenol liberated by phospholipase D-catalyzed reaction of phosphatidyl-p-nitrophenol and ethanol in an aqueous-organic emulsion
Measurement of solution electrical conductance (conductimetry) is a simple direct assay method for the protogenic, hydrolytic reactions catalyzed by all phospholipase enzymes. The technique is especially suitable for assay of phospholipase D (PLD) enzymes where cleavage of zwitterionic substrates re
